From the Roaster:
Though it’s technically from the Sidama zone, Ethiopian ‘Gerbicho Lela’ has a classic Yirga Cheffe flavor with notes of orange blossom, peach candy, brown sugar, and earl grey tea with a clean and creamy body.
This Fair Trade Organization and certified organic coffee is sourced from family-owned farms organized around the Gerbicho Lela Cooperative located in the district of Aleta Wendo within the Sidama Zone, Southern Nations Nationalities, and Peoples' Region, Ethiopia. The Gerbicho Lela Cooperative joined the Sidama Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union (SCFCU), which is an umbrella organization established in 2001 to support a sustainable coffee supply from cooperatives in the Sidama region. SCFCU supports forty-six cooperatives with more than 80,000 farmer-members in southern Ethiopia.
